Glycol Dehydration Systems Intro and Overview [Oil & Gas Training Basics]

In natural gas dehydration, producers dehydrate gas by removing the water from it. In this chapter of Kimray's Product and Application Training, you will learn:
- The uses of natural gas
- Why gas is dehydrated
- Where dehydration occurs
- What triethylene glycol (TEG) is
- The dehydration process
- The flow of fluids through a dehydration system

Great video

[@tylershimek6167]

I can’t believe there’s a video on this! It’s helped me tremendously

[@KimrayInc]

That's awesome to know it was helpful! Please let us know if there are ever any other topics you'd like us to cover! Thanks for the comment

[@gokulkrishnan599]

Wonderfull explanation. Thank you so much

[@rayhanebenafia8766]

EXTREMELY HELPFUL !!! Thank you so much ! Excellent Presentation btw !

[@alqassem-a]

The best explanation 👌

[@abdalladraz6740]

Thanks of this content it's useful at all

[@MrEduardo3650]

Esse canal é maravilhoso!

[@shunmugaganesh8697]

Very nice explanation. Thank you❤. What is the need of inlet scrubber before gas entering into the contactor as already incoming compressed gas crosses the KOD of feed booster. compressor.

[@KimrayInc]

The inlet scrubber give the saturated gas one last opportunity to give up any water. Filter separators can also be used just upstream of the contactor to condense liquids and filter out any compressor lube oils, scale and other debris that might be in the flow stream.

nice

Hi! Just wanna ask is it okay if we don't put a BTEX condenser in a glycol dehydration plant? What are the pros and cons of these?

[@KimrayInc]

I'll try to answer your question without giving direct "advice" on what you want to put in your plant. There are two options to deal with the BTEX and VOC (volatile organic compounds) that result from the gas dehydration process, you can condense or destroy them. A BTEX unit will condense the vapors into liquids and allow them to be sold. If a BTEX unit is not in place, all of the vapor must be destroyed by flare or combustor.

very sufficient

Hi there. Thank you for the video. After the reboiler, what temp does the TEG need to cool down to before it's reused in the contact tower?

[@KimrayInc]

After leaving the reboiler, the glycol needs to be cooled to below 200 degrees F (150 degrees F ideally) before it enters the glycol pump. After the glycol exits the pump, and before it enters the contact tower, it will need to be cooled to no more than 20 degrees F above the gas temperature.

[@janicesmyth2183]

@@KimrayInc Thanks so much! YOu've made my day!

[@norbertomoraes2538]

Why does the TEG need to be changed around 18 to 24 months?

[@KimrayInc]

After 18-24 months of operation, it will most likely need to be changed because of the contaminants and degradation of the glycol as it’s circulated through the system. The level contaminates, filtration and how the equipment is operated will help determine when TEG will need to be changed.
